"He just returned from Nye's Joko Southern California Turned On where he has been Him. enjoying a little out ing. The day after hd struck the resort, he approached the hotelkeeper and inquired if it would be possible to engage a good, strong boy for a few weeks. 'Why, I guess so,' replied the manager, 'What do you want him for? 'Why I come from Oregon and in order to mako me feel nt home, I've sim ply got to have somebody pour water on me. "Nye thought tl was a prime joke on the Oregon rain, but everybody around the place took It up and the way they joshed him was a sufficient penalty for the of fense, I guess." A "A fellow made a novel suggestion to me the other day about maintain ing good roads through the timber here In the rainy sea New son," r e m a r k e d Scheme Mayor E. E. Straw For Itoiuls. the other day. "The idea he suggested was to build a roof over the roads Instead of planking the bottom of them. He had it figured out that the roof lumber would only have to he about an inch thick instead of the three-Inch planks used for the bottom and the rafters and poles supporting the roof would bo small timbers. He said that to round the roadbed up in good shape and ar range for good drainage along the sides and the roof would practical ly Insure a dusty road in the rainy season. The heavy timber along most of the roads prevents the wind blowing the rain in from the sides."

"Don't you know It is a shame to let tho new comer form such an unfavorable opinion of this city at first sight be cause his first view Is certain to bo based on tho appearance of tho waterfront. If ho comes by boat or by Drain or by Sumnor, he sees the waterfront first. It didn't seem to me that it would require a great effort on tho part of the te nants or property owners to put it in presentable shape and I think that a "Clean Up Day" or some thing should be arranged to do it." "The value of a garden or orchard depends on how you take care of It," remarked George Ayres Satur day as ho leaned on Must Tnke his rake after a few Care of hours hard labor on Garden. his garden. "I am no expert but I think I do pretty well. On n place where I used to live, the last year, we sold about 7f worth of stuff besides having sufficient for the family dur ing tho season and enough for Mrs. Ayros to can about lfttl quarts. Well, the inna who moved in when wo moved off didn't give it any at tention and the result was that tho second year ho didn't have enough stuff for his family during the sea son nsido from selling or canning any. According to my view, noth ing makes a placo mora attractive and homellko than a nice llttlo or ebnrdand garden." CARD OF THANKS.

( Tho mail contractor has recently resumed the carrying of mail by stage and the schedule seems to be even better than when it was brought In by pack train. The thickening up of the mud has made the road quite difficult in places, but in other places It has dried so thoroughly as to be pretty fair for ti avel. It Is said that a sign of spring here that beats all the ground hogs, goose bones, blue birds and swal lows, etc., In reliability is the spring fights that occur regularly each spring in a neighborhood near Myr tle Point. It can be now authorita tively stated that the fights have commenced and spring Is assured. Farmers can now begin planting crops and others can make their flower and vegetable gardens with assurance of definite results from their efforts.

It is quite probable that a more stringent measure may be adopted if this ordinance does not act toward curbing some of the evils growing. out pf these places. With the closo of the basket ball season with last week's gamj? against North Rend the Myrtlfc Point team comes through with un divided honors, nnd without a single lost game against tho team.

The fixing up of this street would be of importance to the town and a large number ?fv farmers and would be a step for ward that oil progressive people should favor.

FOOLS THE HENS. The Myrtle Point Enterprise says: "F. B. Cameron, formerly in the newspaper business at Marshfield, and a printer of long experience, but who is now enjoying rustic life in the Upper Sixes country,, was in Myrtle Point Wednesday on his Way to Marshfield where ho has business to look after. Mr. Cameron is run ning a herd of chickens in thatj neck ,of the woods and thinks that fie will ultimately make it a profif- able venture. In the upper moun tains the matter of feed Is some thingof a problem and others simi larly situated might he Interested in one of Cameron's schemes which Is the feeding of myrtle nuts. The nuts are ground up, cooked and mixed wjth other feed and tho chickens appear to thrive on them and Mr. Cameron says they were laying eggs when the hens of other ranchers were not, which may be credited to the feed, in part anyway."

Many Investors Seek Tracts From Which Timber Is Cut. SEATTLE, March 14. There is more money being Invested today in timber, fruit land's and logged-off lands in Washington, Oregon, Idahcf and British Columbia than ever be fore in the history of the Northwest. One reason advanced for this by lo cal capitalists is that such invest ments "bffer greater inducement in the way of fortune making than does investments in city property. There was a time when men with money for good speculations turned to such cities as Seattle, Taconia, Spokane, Portland and other large cities of the Northwest, but now prices have reached that state whore there is no longer any chance to speculate. Tho man with a big for tune can continue to buy city realty, Improve it and make money but he with a small fortune, which it is hoped to double or triple, must look elsewhere than the cities if he wants to be successful. Shrewd bus iness men with an eye to the future do not hesitate to say that the for tunes of the future as well come from the timber, logged-otf lands and fruit lands of the Northwest. During the past few weeks a number of rich Seattle men have Invested heavily in Oregon and Idaho lands, and they say they are more than pleased with their Investments. It Is the Intention to cut up this laud Into small farms and sell them to settlers, A big rush Is expected this spring, for the railroads have been extensively exploiting the country and are offering special Inducements to settlers. Thousands of new peo ple are expected to -locate in the three states within the next year. Every state will get its share. The Hill roads declare that the next few months will witness a wonderful rush from the east and middle west to tho Pacific Northwest.
